Adaptability to Local Infrastructure

In regions where digital infrastructure is still expanding, dental film provides a reliable and robust option. Unlike digital systems, it does not depend on continuous electricity, advanced IT support, or internet connectivity. This makes dental film perfectly suited for diverse environments, ensuring uninterrupted patient care even in challenging conditions.

Proven Reliability and Simplicity

Dental film technology is well-established, easy to use, and trusted by dental professionals worldwide. Its straightforward operation allows clinics to focus on patient outcomes rather than technical troubleshooting. This is especially valuable in settings where rapid training and deployment are needed.

Supply Chain Strength

Film and processing materials are widely available and have a long shelf life. Clinics can maintain consistent service even in remote or rural areas, supporting community health without interruption. This reliability strengthens healthcare delivery where supply chains may be less predictable.

Strategic Healthcare Investment

Many countries are thoughtfully balancing the adoption of new technologies with the need to provide widespread, equitable care. By continuing to use dental film where it is most effective, healthcare leaders can allocate resources toward other critical areas, such as preventive care, education, and infrastructure development.

Meeting Regulatory Requirements

The NIST Special Publication 800-66 helps healthcare providers align with HIPAA regulations by mapping them to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. This guidance offers practical steps to strengthen security, from risk assessments to incident response planning².

Outside the U.S., ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 provide internationally recognized frameworks that help medical providers secure patient data and comply with privacy regulations like GDPR. By implementing these standards, healthcare organizations can systematically manage cybersecurity risks and demonstrate accountability in protecting sensitive health information across borders³.

Defending Against Cyber Threats

Healthcare systems are increasingly targeted by ransomware, phishing, and data theft. The HealthIT.gov Guide to Privacy & Security warns that all electronic systems are vulnerable. Without proper safeguards, attackers can lock down systems, steal data, or disrupt care delivery⁴.

Ensuring Operational Continuity and Patient Safety

Cyber incidents can halt hospital operations, delay treatments, and even endanger lives. The Top 10 Tips for Cybersecurity in Health Care emphasize the need for strong access controls, mobile device security, and a culture of cybersecurity awareness to prevent such disruptions⁵.

Supporting Critical Infrastructure

Healthcare is part of the nation’s critical infrastructure, as defined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). During emergencies like pandemics, secure and resilient healthcare systems are vital. CISA’s guidance urges healthcare workers to maintain cybersecurity best practices to protect both patients and public health⁶.

At Carestream Health

At Carestream Health, cybersecurity is embedded in our operations. The Enterprise Cybersecurity Program outlines governance structures like a Security & Privacy Governance Board (SPGB) and Security Operations Center (SOC), with tools for vulnerability scanning and incident response.

Carestream Medical Device Cybersecurity aligns with global standards including HIPAA, FDA, and EU MDR—highlighting the importance of cybersecurity in medical device development and deployment.

What WHO Recommends

The GBCI focuses on three pillars:

1. Health promotion for early detection
2. Timely diagnosis
3. Comprehensive breast cancer management

In 2024, WHO introduced Patient Navigation as a key strategy to guide individuals through screening, diagnosis, and treatment—especially in underserved communities.

How We Can Engage at Work

As a workplace, we have a unique opportunity to support this global movement and foster a culture of care and awareness. Here are ways we can participate:

• Wear Pink Days: Show solidarity by wearing pink during October.
• Wellness: Promote healthy habits linked to cancer prevention.
• Fundraising & Volunteering: Support local breast cancer organizations or global initiatives.

Why Employee Engagement Matters

Creating space for awareness and support not only contributes to a global cause—it strengthens our workplace culture. When employees feel seen, supported, and empowered, it fosters trust, resilience, and community.

Let’s stand together this October to honor every journey and help change the future of breast cancer care.

How is Carestream Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness?

In addition to providing mammography solutions including DRYVIEW DVM+ Mammography Laser Imaging Film, Carestream has made available awareness posters to our mammography end users, channel partners and Carestream offices. This poster is designed to draw attention to key facts, risk factors, symptoms and ultimately encourage annual exams. Additionally, throughout October, we will have a social media campaign leveraging the design and messaging of the poster.

Share, comment and post on social media!
